Abstract :
Cutaneous adverse reactions (CADRs) reactions are minor and self limiting, sometimes even severe and life threatening. They are common and the prevalence of it ranges from 2 to 5% of the inpatient in Indian hospital setting. This was a retrospective study conducted at the tertiary care centre at Dr.Sushila Tiwari Government Medical College Hospital & Institute Haldwani Nainital from May 2016 to April 2017 with the purpose of analysing the cutaneous adverse drug reactions so as to gain insight into the pattern of reaction and identify suspected drugs.. A total of 123 patients were recruited out of which 34.95% were males and 65.04% were females. Most common cutaneous ADR was maculopapular Rash (35.2%) whereas antimicrobial (46.5%) were the most common drugs causing CADRs. WHO causality scale assessed that 51.13 % of reaction fell under possible and 48.48 % under probable causality.
